"The sudden closure of several video-game studios at Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox division was the result of a widespread cost-cutting initiative that still isn’t finished.
This week, Xbox began offering voluntary severance agreements to producers, quality assurance testers and other staff at ZeniMax, which it purchased in 2020 for $7.5 billion, according to people familiar with the company’s plans. Others across the Xbox organization have been told that more cuts are on the way.
Speaking about the closures more broadly, Booty said that the company’s studios had been spread too thin — like “peanut butter on bread” — and that leaders across the division had felt understaffed. They decided to close these studios to free up resources elsewhere, he said.
Game Pass has not seen the massive growth that Xbox boss Phil Spencer may have been hoping for."

So what you're saying is...you bought all these studios and you guys can't run them.
Jesus.
Reports are suggesting that Game Pass will be getting a price hike soon and that Call of Duty may not be added to the day one offering. I honestly have a hard time believing this but it does beg the question why exactly did GP fail? I think the answer is that it just didn't get the growth that it anticipated. Jim was right but I wish he wasn't because at the end of the day, its gamers, devs and other front-line workers who have to absorb the blow for Spencer and team's miscalculations.
For all the armchair executives who were calling for Sony to release its big-budget AAA games on PS+, the same exact thing would have happened at PlayStation. Game Pass has killed Xbox. Congrats.
Avoid overspending on NVIDIA's 40 series GPUs, and purchase the powerful PNY GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Graphics Card at its lowest price ever!
To be honest this really does seem like a great deal for those who have and HDDVD player, if I had purchased one I would be buying a lot of this HD movies. Hopefully it wont be to far before we start getting some better prices on BD once it starts to replace DVD more.
to think of the prices that they had everyone paying per HD-DVD disc prior to their downfall, they retailed upwards of $30, $40, and $50, and now its down to $10.......sometimes it honestly makes me think twice about the current $60 price tag attached to games and movies, and how much profit per disc they are making off of me...

....."The JOEY has Spoken"
I'm worthless!
LOL
this deal is pretty sweet for people with a HD-DVD player
these discs won't even worth a penny by then....
i doubt the next gen physical format is still going to support HD DVD...
